Accessing Cisco Unified Serviceability
January 7, 2008
Tip After you log in to Cisco Unified Serviceability, you can access all applications that display in the Navigation drop-down list box, except for the Cisco Unified OS Administration or Disaster Recovery System, without having to log in to each application. You cannot access the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration or Disaster Recovery System GUIs with the same username and password that you use to access Cisco Unified Serviceability. To access these applications from Cisco Unified Serviceability, you must click the Logout link in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Serviceability window; then, choose the application from the Navigation drop-down list box, and click Go.
If you have already logged in to one of the applications that display in the Navigation drop-down list box (not Cisco Unified OS Administration or Disaster Recovery System), you can access Cisco Unified Serviceability without logging in; from the Navigation drop-down list box, choose Cisco Unified Serviceability; then, click Go.
To access Cisco Unified Serviceability, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 Browse into the server where the Cisco CallManager Serviceability service runs by using one of the following supported browsers:
Cisco Unity Connection 2.1
|
Netscape 7.1, or Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0
|
Cisco Unity Connection 2.0
|
Netscape 7.1 or Internet Explorer 6.0
|
Tip In the supported browser, enter https://<server name or IP address>:8443/ccmservice/, where server name or IP address equals the server where the Cisco CallManager Serviceability service runs and 8443 equals the port number for HTTPS.
If you enter http://<server name or IP address>:8080 in the browser, the system redirects you to use HTTPS. HTTP uses the port number, 8080.
Step 2 If the system prompts you about certificates, see the "Using Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS)" section.
Step 3 Enter the username and the application user password that you specified during installation; click Login.
To clear the username and password before you log in, click Reset.
Tip Any user who has the System Administrator role or Technician role assigned can access Cisco Unified Serviceability. For information on how to assign this role to a user, refer to the User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection.

Using Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS)
This section contains information on the following topics:
•HTTPS Overview for Internet Explorer
•Saving the Certificate to the Trusted Folder in Internet Explorer
•Using Netscape to Save the Certificate to the Trusted Folder
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which secures communication between the browser client and the Tomcat web server, uses a certificate and a public key to encrypt the data that is transferred over the internet. HTTPS, which ensures the identity of the server, supports applications, such as Cisco Unified Serviceability. HTTPS also ensures that the user login password transports securely via the web.
HTTPS Overview for Internet Explorer
The first time that you (or a user) access Cisco Unified Serviceability, a Security Alert dialog box asks whether you trust the server. When the dialog box displays, you must perform one of the following tasks:
•By clicking Yes, you choose to trust the certificate for the current web session only. If you trust the certificate for the current session only, the Security Alert dialog box displays each time that you access the application: that is, until you install the certificate in the trusted folder.
•By clicking View Certificate > Install Certificate, you indicate that you intend to perform certificate installation tasks, so you always trust the certificate. If you install the certificate in the trusted folder, the Security Alert dialog box does not display each time that you access the web application.
•By clicking No, you cancel the action. No authentication occurs, and you cannot access the web application. To access the web application, you must click Yes or install the certificate via the View Certificate > Install Certificate options.
Note The system issues the certificate by using the hostname. If you attempt to access a web application by using the IP address, the Security Alert dialog box displays, even though you installed the certificate on the client.
Additional Information
See the "Related Topics" section.
Saving the Certificate to the Trusted Folder in Internet Explorer
To save the CA Root certificate in the trusted folder, so the Security Alert dialog box does not display each time that you access the web application, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 Browse to the application on the Tomcat web server.
Step 2 When the Security Alert dialog box displays, click View Certificate.
Step 3 In the Certificate pane, click Install Certificate.
Step 4 Click Next.
Step 5 Click the Place all certificates in the following store radio button; click Browse.
Step 6 Browse to Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
Step 7 Click Next.
Step 8 Click Finish.
Step 9 To install the certificate, click Yes.
A message states that the import was successful. Click OK.
Step 10 In the lower, right corner of the dialog box, click OK.
Step 11 To trust the certificate, so you do not receive the dialog box again, click Yes.
Additional Information
See the "Related Topics" section.
Using Netscape to Save the Certificate to the Trusted Folder
When you use HTTPS with Netscape, you can view the certificate credentials, trust the certificate for one session, trust the certificate until it expires, or not trust the certificate at all.
Tip If you trust the certificate for one session only, you must repeat this procedure each time that you access the HTTPS-supported application. If you do not trust the certificate, you cannot access the application.
Perform the following procedure to save the certificate to the trusted folder:
Procedure
Step 1 Browse to the application, for example, Cisco Unified Serviceability, by using Netscape.
The certificate authority dialog box displays.
Step 2 Click one of the following radio buttons:
•Accept this certificate for this session
•Do not accept this certificate and do not connect
•Accept this certificate forever (until it expires)
Note If you choose Do not accept, the application does not display.
Note To view the certificate credentials before you continue, click Examine Certificate. Review the credentials and click Close.
Step 3 Click OK.
The Security Warning dialog box displays.
Step 4 Click OK.
